Cooking a brisket or a large roast can produce mouth watering, juicy and more importantly tender slices of meat.

The trick is to use a roasting bag safe for an oven. To use one on the grill, try a Finnish style version with embedded wood chips. It will add the smoke flavor to the roast without overpowering the rest of the grill.

DIRECTIONS FOR SEASONING RUB; Mix all of the above seasonings. Rub the surface of the meat covering any remaining fat. Place the meat into a smoker bag. Seal the bag and cook for the same amount of time as a covered roast.

DIRECTIONS FOR SEASONING BLEND; Simply blend in a mixing bowl and coat both sides of brisket or roast. For more information on smoker bags, look up http://www.savu.fi/in_english.iw3

INGREDIENTS:

4 lobsters

1 cup butter

1/4 cup coral lobster roe

your favorite seafood seasoning. For a New England hint I use Old Bay. For a Louisiana flair I use Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning.

DIRECTIONS:

Slice the lobsters from head to tail, right down the middle.

In a mixing bowl, place softened butter (no need to melt it) and fold in about a quarter cup of red coral lobster row. Spread this lobster butter liberally on top of the lobster meat. Season with your favorite seafood seasoning.

On a hot grill lay the lobster halves down and keep a sharp eye out for signs of over cooking. Lobsters should all be done in less than 2 or 3 minutes.

This is a recipe that works equally well on the grill or in a smoker. The use of an aluminum foil boat is the key to keeping the corn tender, and will protect it from over cooking.

6-12 Frozen Ears of Corn on the Cob.

6-12 medium cooked strips of Bacon (1 for each corn boat)

If you’re afraid of uncooked bacon, cook it for 10 minutes in a skillet on low, long enough to cook it through, but not so long that it becomes brittle.

The Rolling Sauce…

3/4 to 1 Cup Melted Butter

1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt

1-2 Teaspoon Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Tabasco Hot Sauce

2 Tablespoons Worcestershire

Top with…

an aromatic Beer

Chili Powder (sprinkle a little on top of each ear, after the boats are ready).

Pepper to taste

At the market, look in the frozen food section and grab a bag of pre-cut frozen corn on the cob. If you want to use fresh corn, shuck it and chill it for an hour or two. Make an aluminum boat with the sides tall enough to hold the corn and allow you to nearly cover it with the beer.

Add all the seasonings to the melted butter and mix well in a shallow bowl or cooking dish. Take the frozen corn and roll it 4 to 6 times in the mixture. The frozen corn will solidify the butter and create a solid coating on each ear of corn.

Place in aluminum boats. Place a strip of bacon on top of each ear. Place the corn boats on the grill. Fill each boat to the 3/4 point with beer. Be careful you don’t “wash off” the seasoning with the beer. Top with a light sprinkle of chili powder.

Cook for 20-30 minutes on a hot grill, or smoke cook them for 120 minutes if using a smoker.

This is a very tasty side dish. Don’t waste the juices that are created as the corn boils lightly in the boat. Indeed, pour it over the main cut or on the side, for an extra delicious sauce.

To keep the outermost layer of meat moist, pin a single strip of bacon around the tournedo with toothpicks or skewers.

DIRECTIONS:
Cut the tomatoes in half. Scoop out the center portion. Chop this up with breadcrumbs, parsley and herb seasoning mix add melted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put this mixture back into the tomato skins. Grill over medium heat on top of a grill pan or grilling skillet. When soft move to the side of the grill to make room for the tournedos.

Cook the steaks on top of the grill pan until done as desired. While timing the steaks fry the mushrooms in butter until tender. Add eggs and fry in a normal skillet on top of grill or range.

When steaks are done. Remove the string and top each with a stuffed tomato. Add a heap of mushrooms and press down to create a shallow spot to place a fried egg on top and center. Serve to your amazed and hungry guests.

You can make a larger amount and keep it in the fridge. Simply reheat without boiling and use at any time.

DIRECTIONS:
Slowly heat the milk with the bay leaf and the chopped onion just to near boiling. Remove from heat. Let stand in a warm area for at least an half hour. When you are ready to make the rest of the sauce strain the milk into a container.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the mushrooms until they are tender. Blend the flour with the milk and add to the saucepan. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from heat and whisk in Worcesterhire sauce and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Reheat before you serve but do not boil.
